Comrade Hu Jintao's Address to the Party Congress

Can you imagine having to read this stuff everyday?

The People's Daily, the most influential and authoritative newspaper in China, on Monday issues an editorial entitled "Advance courageously under the great banner of socialism with Chinese characteristics" and it detailed account are as follows:

The Communist Party of China (CPC) now embarks on a new journey to unite and lead the people of all ethnicities nationwide onto a new, protracted march proceeding from the new historic starting point with the victorious conclusion of its 17th National Congress.

The 17th CPC National Congress, a meeting of great significance at a period of vital importance during China's reform and opening to the outside world, approved a report Comrade Hu Jintao delivered on behalf of the CPC 16th Central Committee and the work report of the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, deliberated and adopted the CPC's Amended Constitution, and elected a new CPC Central Committee and a new Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. So it was a congress of unity, victory and forward advance.
It's chocked full of old Communist lingo.

The Congress highly appraises Hu Jintao's report. The report, holding high the banner the great banner of socialism with Chinese characteristics, conscientiously summing up the Party's work over the past five years since the 16th CPC National Congress and reviewing the great historical process and valuable experience of the reform and opening-up, has made all-round arrangements for the continuous advance of the reform, opening-up and modernization drive and the attainment of the lofty goal for building a relatively prosperous society.

Delegates to the Party Congress unanimously hold that the report depicts the grand blueprint for China's reform and development with a strategic thinking and forward eyesight. So this represent a political manifesto for the CPC to face up to modernization, the world and the future, and a Marxist programmatic document and an action program guiding the people of all ethnicities around China to win new victories in building a relatively prosperous society in an all-round way and opening up a new situation for socialism with Chinese characteristics.
It continues in this vein for what seems like decades.
